Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error
Qur'an 2:256
"Welcome to my parlour", said the spider to the fly.
So I'd decided enough procrastination and let's get it started. So here it is, my very own collection of thoughts, opinions and paranoias on the Web.
Well, first of all, I had an experience at the Mumbai airport, where I had about a 7-hour layover en route to Riyadh from Bangalore. So I was curled up on the recliner at the airport under the blanket I had taken at the Bangalore-Mumbai flight, which I had, ahem... forgotten to return. Having been sleeping soundly, I paid little attention to the call for the passengers of the Riyadh flight. It was too early I thought, it was a 0915 call for a 1100 take-off. So I thought I'll catch another 40 winks. My 40 winks turned out to be a liiiitle more, as I woke up with a start at hearing my name being called on the loudspeakers! At 1130! Besides they had sent one of their airport staff to shepherd me to the plane!! So there I was being led, like a sheep driven to its pen.
Oh, and I left the blanket in the plane at the Riyadh-Mumbai flight. No harm done, I thought, same airlines...
And for those of you who are thinking, now you know who are the people who delay the flights, it's never happened to me before in the 50 or so flights I have talken.
Also, my bro just had a baby girl and she's the tiniest and cutest thing you ever saw...
